State Board of Education--Pupil Personnel Services and Students; Regulation No. 6-280
On November 7, 2003, the Independent Regulatory Review Commission (Commission) received this proposed regulation from the State Board of Education (Board). This rulemaking deletes Chapter 7 and amends Chapter 12 of 22 Pa. Code. The proposed regulation was published in the November 22, 2003 Pennsylvania Bulletin with a 30-day public comment period. The final-form regulation was submitted to the Commission on October 21, 2004. On November 9, 2004, the Board withdrew the regulation. On February 4, 2005, the Board resubmitted the final-form regulation. On March 1, 2005, the Board withdrew the regulation. On September 6, 2005, the Board resubmitted the final-form regulation. On September 12, 2005, the Board simultaneously withdrew and resubmitted the final-form regulation.
This regulation amends provisions related to student rights and responsibilities and student services to make them consistent with current statutory provisions and case law.
We have determined this regulation is consistent with the statutory authority of the Board (24 P. S. § 26-2603-(B)) and the intention of the General Assembly. Having considered all of the other criteria of the Regulatory Review Act, we find promulgation of this regulation is in the public interest.
By Order of the Commission:
This regulation is approved.
